Introduction to the secondary use of data
The presentation aims to demystify data and highlight the importance of data in the digital age. This includes an introduction to data and its reuse, including an overview of the different forms of data, an explanation of data reuse and why it is important, and the benefits and challenges of data reuse.
Data sources and key questions
In a data-driven world, it is essential to ask the right questions. These questions should be developed in a participatory way. The presentation also explains how to determine the minimum amount of data and why this is important. It is about identifying potential data sources, assessing the credibility and relevance of data and learning tools and techniques for data sourcing and verification.
Data cooperation and governance
The presentation introduces various models of data collaboration, such as data pooling or data philanthropy. It also explains the importance of governance in data collaboration, how data sharing agreements are designed and how data protection, security and ethical concerns can be taken into account in data collaboration.
